Inbreeding Depression of Plant Quality Reduces Incidence of an Insect-Borne Pathogen in a Wild Gourd.

2007-06-01

Abstract excerpt

The distribution of infectious diseases within populations can be characterized in terms of variation in the susceptibility and exposure of individual hosts. In general, selfing has been associated with an increase in susceptibility to pathogens, though selfing effects on plant quality may further affect pathogen exposure due to foraging insects. We observed lower incidence of a beetle-vectored bacterium, Erwinia...
